Crossett is doing a fantastic job for us

If you liked Bud Mueller, you'll love Cornel Rasor.

I'm sure I don't have to remind those who lived here in the 1990s of the havoc Mueller wreaked as county commissioner when he got rid of the building department.

Like many people who live in Bonner County, I live here because of the incredible lakes, mountains and forests that are our backyard.

I've watched, over the last few years, as Todd Crossett has worked endlessly to protect those treasures.

Todd believes that "community-driven planning" is the way to do it. Cornel sees government only as "a 'taker' of wealth."

While Todd favors streamlining government, he believes that "with no planning or land-use rules, all of the qualities such as clean air and water, affordability, and our way of life will eventually disappear in the face of a growing population."

Todd's doing a fantastic job. He deserves your vote on Tuesday.
